Oct 07, 2013

Fairfield, CT (October 7, 2013) –
Sophomore linebacker Kellen Sperduto (Oldwick, NJ) has been named
this week’s Sacred Heart Student-Athlete of the Week for his
record breaking performance against Wagner over the weekend.

Sperduto racked up a school record 22 tackles in the
Pioneers’ 23-20 loss to Wagner on Saturday afternoon. The
sophomore was all over the field for the Pioneers, compiling 3.5
tackles for loss, a sack and 2 quarterback hurries. Sperduto
leads the Pioneers this season with 56 tackles, which is 28 more
than any other Sacred Heart defense. As a whole, the SHU defense
ranks first nationally in rushing defense (78.8 yds/gm) and third
in the country in total defense (270 yds/gm).

Sperduto and the Pioneers hope to rebound this Saturday when the
Blue Devils of Central Connecticut State come to town.
